Response (Sept. 30)

Hi John - We checked with the tenant and they said the tent had been up for a short while and had already been taken down. We made sure they understand that they should not put up anything visible from the street.

Aloha,

Hanapohaku

Your tenant is telling you a false statement. Tent was up 4 – 6 hours at a minimum. Whether it was up one minute and 6 hours it still a violation the MSA Hawking agreement.As far as I’m concerned, all the hanging snorkeling masks, swim fin etc. that  are clearly visible from the road and across the street form Sharks Cove are also in violation of the MSA Hawking clause.One other note. The planter boxes are not providing the closure they are required to per the MSA.
